Unusual bouquet of damp earth that goes right into the back of the nose. Strong and prominent tannins, though not grippy. A very long finish with warming deep cocoa, salt and stone. Very interesting, though even at 12 years old still seems a bit too young and rough on the edges. — 6 years ago
Exactly what this last humid Japanese summer night needed - a refreshing and deceptively light melange of citrus and apricot, with a lovely vanilla enrobed body to finish. — 8 years ago
Young, but very good. Classic Chablis profile. Lemons, green apples, and oyster shells on a glycerin-tinged frame. — 9 years ago

Gripping, austere, reductive, mineral-laced and utterly cerebral. That describes the general appeal of this very well-crafted entry level bottling. But it remains expressive, aromatic, lifted and graceful. This vintage has proven to be one of the best gateways into serious and traditional Burgundy wines for many of my customers, earning it a couple of extra points from me. — 5 years ago
Strawberry and reminds you how close Beaujolais is to the Rhône and yes his 14s and 16s are better (by far) but this warmed me up — 6 years ago
Had with oysters and was divine. Great lees undertone and extremely aromatic, hitting all the right notes. Well played, sir. — 8 years ago
Wild and lively. Has some raw red meat. Develops polish with air. Electric. — 9 years ago
Bertrand's mentors being Metras and Foillard: tastes like chaos in the best way ever! 100 year old vines. Wild brambly fruit, black tea, licorice spice with juicy texture. — 9 years ago
An exquisite wine that still held its own after 3 glasses of red! — 10 years ago

This + Szechwan green beans? Delish. Another triumph, @baygrape! I'm ready to re-up very soon. — 9 years ago
A blend of Grenache from the right side of the Rhone river and Syrah from the left side cooler adds some freshness — 10 years ago

12.5%. Very very good. Hint of brett - tart and closed. But boy is this complex. Earthy, Kashmir red pepper, perhaps even a hint of tomatoes 🍅. Orange bitters on the back palate. Like silk much better than many Burgs I had in the last six months. From Max Kogod and I will buy the last bottle and the other cuvée from this producer best Trousseau I had in a long time! — 5 years ago
